Zhong Lun is among the first Chinese law firms to practice bankruptcy, insolvency, and reorganization laws. With an extensive bench of over 20 seasoned partners and nearly 100 associates based in different offices, our group is capable of providing efficient and high-quality legal services for our clients. We have been included in the rosters of approved bankruptcy administrators by various courts, including the Beijing Municipal Higher People’s Court, Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court, Shanghai Higher People’s Court, Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, Guangdong Higher People’s Court, Shandong Higher People’s Court, Chengdu Intermediate People’s Court, Sichuan Higher People’s Court, Wuhan Intermediate People’s Court, Hubei Higher People’s Court, Nanjing Intermediate People’s Court, and Chongqing No. 5 Intermediate People’s Court. 

 

We have handled a raft of high-profile bankruptcy cases as administrator, including reorganizations and pre-reorganizations of listed companies such as *ST Feima, *ST Deao, *ST Taibai, *ST Powerise, Fujian Nuoqi (H share), and Fuguiniao (H share); nationally prominent liquidations of financial institutions, including Hantang Securities and Minfa Securities; and reorganizations of large businesses such as Huishan Dairy Group involving an array of 108 companies. The reorganizations of *ST Taibai and Anxi Tieguanyin Corporation were selected into the first and second national “Ten Typical Bankruptcy Cases” released by China’s Supreme People’s Court, and the reorganization of Huishan Dairy Group was awarded as a 2020 Impact Deal/Case of the Year by AisaLaw.

 

We have also acted as legal counsel for strategic investors in a range of significant cases, of which examples are the reorganizations of Shenyang Machine Tool (Group) Co., Ltd. and *ST Shenji, as well as the substantive consolidated restructuring of Peking University Founder Group Company Limited and its four subsidiaries, namely, Founder Industry Holdings Co., Ltd., Peking University Medical Industry Group Co., Ltd., Peking University Founder Information Industry Group Co., Ltd., and Peking University Resources Group Limited. Furthermore, our significant presence as legal counsel for debtor in the reorganizations of many listed companies such as *ST Shengrun, *ST Kejian, and *ST Zhonghua has led to positive social effects.
